Botanist

Polished without feeling stiff, this is one of Vancouver’s standout rooms for cocktails. The bar draws on botanical and Pacific Northwest influences, but the appeal goes beyond the theme to the level of craft and care behind each drink. The setting is refined and contemporary, with enough warmth to make a long evening feel easy rather than formal. It works equally well for a special night out or a quiet seat at the bar when you want something more distinctive than the usual hotel lounge.
